I would absolutely love a special "pro" ball in Wii Sports that resembled Samus as a ball.

How cool would that be?

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Dark Samus...

Spoilerz!

"Metroid Prime"?

I thought that at the end of the first game, after she beats Prime, as it is a bubbling pile of liquid, after it ripped off the Phazon Suit, you see the hand rise up.

Therefore, does it not infer that Metroid Prime, in its gelatin state, formed into Dark Samus? Just my thoughts on how it all belongs in the story line. Am I right?

That's old news.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #881 on:** August 16, 2007, 04:38:52 PM »

The old news is that using Hyper Mode will eat away at your health...It's never been stated in any previews or shown in any videos that it requires an entire Energy Tank to use it...

Correct...

When Samus' Phazon Suit was absorbed by Metroid Prime, it also got some of her DNA, which allowed it to take Samus' form...

mantidor · « **Reply #882 on:** August 16, 2007, 06:31:01 PM »

Its so weird Prime copied her with suit and everything, so is her DNA altered by the suit? thats actually imposible, even for the science-defying metroid unviverse, so I guess the suit is more organic than it looks then... well fusion did give a hint towards that, how the chozo armor is not just metal but a whole bunch of extrange plastic pulsating material beneath it.

I could swear that part's been mentioned before, but I don't remember where.

I kinda like that actually... makes its use more tactical (ie, it's cost is too high, so you can't abuse it and shouldn't use it just when you feel like it)

Rip-off of Fzero GX

Plugabugz · « **Reply #886 on:** August 16, 2007, 08:11:04 PM »

Lets hope they balance out the use of Hyper Mode better than the Healing Touch..

I wonder if this game will explain the origins of Phazon.

I mean the stuff is not just radioactive, it appears to warp the mental processes of the surrounding lifeforms, and it seems to have reality warping attributes as well (kind of like the "artifacts" from a book I just read; Roadside Picnic). I wonder if the Phazon itself is a sentient lifeform.

The phazon originated in the underwater city of Rapture, that is a fact!

So anyone else not trying to spoil this game?

Michael8983 · « **Reply #890 on:** August 17, 2007, 01:09:00 AM »

Ok about the Metroid Channel. Worked fine the first day but now the videos will play for maybe five seconds at a time in between several minutes of buffering. My internet connection is fine, I checked. Is my Wii broken or is Nintendo's online setup just really THAT bad.

in almost every interview done with retro where they've mentioned it. they've always said its one of her most powerfull attacks but its not something you can or should abuse because it'll cost you your health

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #892 on:** August 17, 2007, 05:12:43 AM »

I'm not reading anything or watching any videos. I still can't believe I'm only a week away from owning it; I'll probably pre-order it in the next few days and get it shipped to my campus PO Box, and meet it up there. It seems like I should have to wait another few months to get it. I'm actually too flabberghasted by the sudden release to get properly excited. That'll set in soon enough, I imagine, once I actually get to play it.

I'm actually psyched that I know so little about this game. I know about controlling the ship, and Hyper Mode, and some of the details regarding the Wii controls, but I've been so busy doing other stuff recently, especially this summer, that I haven't had much chance to look into game stuff. So I'm going into this almost completely blind, which will be a welcome change. Nothing but surprises.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #893 on:** August 17, 2007, 05:13:39 AM »

I remember reading early on how the beams would stack like in Super Metroid. Does anyone know if thats still implimented today? because I havn't read anything at all about that. Though to be fair I havn't read too much about Prime 3 aside from impressions.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #894 on:** August 17, 2007, 05:27:02 AM »

Yep, beams still stack!

EasyCure · « **Reply #895 on:** August 17, 2007, 05:45:01 AM »

i have no more games im willing to trade in at a gamestop to get credit toward mp3:corruption...

i dont think i'll be getting this on launch day :cries;

I gave up. The main reason though is that I had huge doubts about the game, and I needed to see as much as I could about it. I am somewhat dissapointed, but I've come to accept it and I'm just trying to enjoy the stuff they are doing right.

MLS_man_64 · « **Reply #897 on:** August 17, 2007, 02:19:02 PM »

Wasn't the Phazon created by Metroid Prime,

Which was a metroid,

Which was created by the Chozo,

Which was created to kill the X parasite plague?

So therefore isn't Metroid Prime just an out of control teen metroid that is ragging at the race that created it, and the universe that it lives in?

Also, did it send the asteroid Aether's way as well? And why?

mantidor · « **Reply #898 on:** August 17, 2007, 02:25:10 PM »

The origins of phazon have never been explained. It arrive to Tallon IV in a huge rock and mutated a metroid into Prime, but we don't know about the origins of this rock. Apparently corruption will explain this further.

It appears dark samus uses giant rocks called leviathans to infect planets.

That happened to me yesterday as well. :/
